A network administrator needs to remotely access the web-based management interface of a network switch in a secure manner. Which method should be used to ensure encrypted communication?
Use FTP to transfer configuration files to the switch
Use HTTPS to connect to the switch's management interface
Use HTTP to connect to the switch's management interface
To securely access the web-based management interface of a network device, the administrator should use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). HTTPS encrypts the communication between the client and the device, protecting sensitive data from interception. HTTP does not provide encryption and transmits data in plain text. Telnet is used for command-line interface access and does not encrypt data, making it insecure. FTP is intended for file transfers and is not used for accessing management interfaces.
